He claims Silsila lineage via Ashraf Jahangir Semnani, the 14th-century Chishti Sufi saint of Kichhauchha Sharif, from whom the Ashrafi Sufi order takes its name.
He is the founder of the Mohaddis-e-Azam Mission and Shaikhul Islam Trust.
Tafsir-e-Ashrafi
Tafseer-e-Ashrafi is a classical Sunni interpretation (tafsir) of the Qur'an, begun by his father Mohaddis-e-Azam-e-Hind and completed after his father's death by Madni Ashraf in 2008. It is a popular exegesis of the Qur'an due to its simple style and conciseness. It consists of 10 volumes, originally written in Urdu and later translated into English.
